OH I can help! The desired standard for all races is 100%. Blacks and Hispanics obviously need lower benchmarks but have to reach them at an accelerated rate in order to keep up..
Basically they have to improve disproportionately to achieve Florida's 6 year goals, knuckleheads, since there is currently no balance in education levels.
From the article. These children are exempt from the 'benchmarks. '
Are these kids held to a different standard than the Asian kids?
'Economically disadvantaged students, students with disabilities and students who are learning English as a second language are exempt from the new benchmarks. '
